[PATCH 8/9] arch/powerpc/kernel: Drop unnecessary null test

From: Julia Lawall <hidden>
Date: 2010-08-03 21:35:20
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Julia Lawall <redacted>

list_for_each_entry binds its first argument to a non-null value, and thus
any null test on the value of that argument is superfluous.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
iterator I;
expression x,E,E1,E2;
statement S,S1,S2;
@@

I(x,...) { <...
- if (x != NULL || ...)
  S
  ...> }
// </smpl>

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <redacted>
